Qu Province was located in the southeastern part of the Song Dynasty, right next to Ning Province. Fengyun City was the largest city in Qu Province, and it was also the capital of Qu Province. Even in the entire Qu Province, it could be ranked in the top three. 【..】
Because Fengyun City was located on a major road, there were countless traveling merchants and it was very prosperous.
Drunken Fragrance House was located on Fengle Street, the busiest street in Fengyun City. It was the largest restaurant in the city, but those who could dine at Drunken Fragrance House were either nobles or wealthy merchants.
Honest Liu was a waiter at Drunken Fragrance House. Although he was only in his twenties, he had already worked there for seven or eight years. Because he was honest and diligent, he was especially favored by the owner. When he got married half a month ago, the owner not only gave him three days off, but also gave him a generous gift. As a result, Honest Liu became even more diligent.
It was currently lunchtime, and Drunken Fragrance House was packed with people. Honest Liu was busy entertaining guests and didn't even have time to drink water.
"Third floor, room seven wants a table of Manchu Han Imperial Feast," Honest Liu loudly shouted as he walked down the stairs.
After shouting for an entire morning, his throat was a bit dry. He was just about to go to the kitchen to drink a few mouthfuls of water when several guests walked in.
Two were women and three were men. Of the five, four were holding weapons, clearly out of place with the other guests.
If he guessed correctly, these five people should be martial artists. Although they weren't easy to serve, these people were more generous and rewarded more. Thinking of this, Honest Liu hurriedly walked over and said with a smile, "Dear guests, do you want to eat?"
"Yes. Waiter, arrange a private room for us and bring us a table of good food and wine. Hurry up." A handsome young man with a long saber in his hand nodded. He took out a small ingot of silver and threw it into Honest Liu's arms as he urged loudly.
"Alright, please follow me." After receiving the money, the smile on Honest Liu's face deepened. He led the group to a room on the third floor before retreating.
"Miss Wang, Miss Li, Little Brother Wang, Little Brother Liu, the Intoxicated Fragrance Building's signature dishes are very good. You should all try them later," the youth said to the four of them with a smile.
"It doesn't matter what we eat. However, the Sword Meet of Hua Mountain will begin in half a month. At our current speed, I'm afraid the Sword Meet of Hua Mountain will be over by the time we arrive at Hua Mountain." A pretty girl in a red hunting suit shook her head and said.
"Junior Sister Wang, you still have the nerve to say that. If it weren't for you being so playful, the five of us wouldn't have only just arrived at Fengyun City," a lithe green-clothed woman said in a reproachful tone.
"It's not easy for us to come to Qu Province. How can we not tour the scenic spots of Qu Province? Besides, Young Master Liu and the others also agreed," the red-clothed girl retorted with a pout.
"Miss Wang is right. It's not easy for us to come to Qu Province, so we should tour the scenic spots of this place." A tall youth agreed with a smile. He rolled his eyes and continued, "However, at our current speed, we will indeed miss the Sword Meet of Hua Mountain. I know a shortcut that can shorten the time by a few days. However, rumor has it that there are horses on that shortcut. If we take that shortcut, we may encounter some horses. What do you all think?"
"Of course we'll take the shortcut! As for horses, their martial arts shouldn't be that high. Even if we can't beat them, escaping shouldn't be a problem, "the red-clothed girl said indifferently.
"Horses come and go like the wind. There are many of them. Once we get entangled with them, it won't be so easy to escape." The youth with the saber thought for a moment and said with some worry.
"Young Master Wang, what do you think?" The green-clothed girl's eyes turned and fell on a young man beside her.
The young man looked about 20 years old. His facial features were ordinary, and his face was calm as if he didn't care about anything.
"I agree with Miss Wang's opinion. However, if we encounter a horse, I won't be of much help. I have only learned one Qing Gong, and I don't know any other martial arts." The young man nodded and smiled bitterly.
"No way! Brother Wang, as a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, you even know the Xiaoyao Sect's secret skill, Wave-like Subtle Steps. How can you not know the other martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect? "The youth with the saber said with some disbelief.
Hearing this, the others also had a look of disbelief on their faces.
The young man smiled slightly and didn't explain. The young man was Wang Changsheng.
After leaving the Zhao Family Fort, Wang Changsheng disguised himself as a martial artist and mingled among mortals. He would occasionally encounter NPCs.
If there were only one or two people, it would be fine. But there were hundreds of people hiding on both sides of the valley. Even an idiot would know what they were up to.
Hundreds of mortals naturally wouldn't hurt Wang Changsheng, but it was hard to say for the four people beside him. After interacting with them for many days, Wang Changsheng had a good impression of the four people. He didn't want them to lose their lives carelessly. Therefore, he hurriedly shouted, "Stop, there's an ambush ahead."
The four people were shocked and quickly stopped their horses.
At the same time, Chen Dahu and the others rushed out from the hills on both sides of the valley. Each of them had a weapon in their hands, and there were even a dozen people with bows and arrows. They looked at the four people with evil intentions.
"I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to pass this road, you have to pay the toll. If you dare to say no, I'll pull your head off and kill you in the wilderness. I don't care about burying you. Send you to the Village Viewing Platform and you'll never come back." Chen Dahu said while looking at the two women with lecherous eyes.
Seeing so many bandits rushing out from both sides of the valley, the youth surnamed Song's face changed greatly. He hurriedly shouted, "Not good, there are bandits. Retreat." After saying that, he turned around and planned to escape from the way they came. When he turned around, he unexpectedly found that there were more than a dozen bandits riding horses with knives, spears, and sticks in their hands.
Seeing this situation, the youth surnamed Song took a deep breath and shouted at Chen Dahu, "We're from the Domineering Saber Mountain Villa. Friend, please do us a favor."
"Yes! I'm Liu Sancai, the fourth young master of the Cangjian Mountain Villa. Please be magnanimous. I'll definitely thank you in the future. "The youth surnamed Liu also reported his background.
If people from other sects heard this, they would more or less give them face. Unfortunately, Chen Dahu was inexperienced and didn't know the weight of the Domineering Saber Mountain Villa and the Cangjian Mountain Villa. Moreover, he was also blinded by the appearance of the two women. Even if they said they were the family of the County Governor, Chen Dahu wouldn't hesitate to rob them.
"Brothers, kill the men and leave the women alive." Chen Dahu waved his hand and ordered. However, he seemed to think of something and added, "Don't use bows and arrows. It won't be good if you hurt the two beauties."
After receiving the order, the bandits rushed toward the five people as if they were injected with blood.
Seeing this scene, Wang Changsheng sighed. It seemed that he had to make a move. No matter how strong the four people's martial arts were, they were definitely not a match for hundreds of people.
Wang Changsheng's right hand shook and several red talismans flew out of his hand. They flashed in the wind and turned into three fist-sized red fireballs floating in the air.
Because Wang Changsheng was behind the four people, they didn't see Wang Changsheng's small movements. They also didn't know that there were three red fireballs above their heads.
At this time, the four people took out their weapons. They looked a little nervous when they saw the bandits rushing toward them.
"Ghost! Ghost fire! "Suddenly, the bandits' faces changed and they shouted. They hurriedly turned around and fled.
Seeing the three fireballs floating in the air, Chen Dahu was so scared that he forgot to run. In the end, it was a few loyal bandits who pulled him away from this place.
When they saw this scene, the four of them looked at each other, all of them feeling that this was inconceivable. They all turned their heads around, seeing that Immortal Wang was also at a loss.
"Miss Wang, Miss Li, Brother Sancai, Brother Yihang, what happened? Why did those people run away?" Wang Changsheng asked with a puzzled face. Taking advantage of the time when the four people turned around, Wang Changsheng controlled the three fireballs and turned them into specks of light and disappeared.
"We don't know. Maybe they were afraid of the revenge of the Tyrannical Saber Villa and the Hidden Sword Villa!" The woman in red shook her head and said with uncertainty.
"That can't be! Why didn't they leave earlier or later? Why did they leave when they were about to reach us? "The youth surnamed Song raised his doubts.
"Could it be that some expert passed by here and just happened to hear Young Master Song and Young Master Liu's words and scared them away?" The woman in green analyzed.
"I say, let's leave quickly! It won't be good if those bandits come back. The five of us aren't a match for hundreds of people. "Wang Changsheng changed the topic and urged.
"That's right. Brother Wang's words are reasonable. It's better for us to leave early. We'll talk about other things later." The youth surnamed Liu nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, the three people nodded. They raised the whips in their hands and fiercely swung them at the horse's butt.
